what is the correct thing to say, while scurrying away?
Desolee!
Pardonnez-moi!
Excusez-moi!
or something else (Ce n'etait pas moi!)?

I think you have it covered! ;D
If I had to choose one, I would say, Désolé! Or Très désolé!

If you say anything at all, just "pardon" is fine.

Mez, I don't know if your question was directed to sdtraveller or to me but I'm leaving April 7th and will return home on April 29th.

Oh, I just realised half my initial response is missing!
I tend to say "Excusez-moi, pardon" together so I am covered for most eventualities. ;D

You know, Shoesy, it seems as though the pickpockets are even more prevalent than ever. Or is it just me?

You cannot *believe* how many times I felt bad for that stooped old lady until Sunshine clued me in. I felt so stoop-id
